Hello Ray, The project is currently in an interesting state. I will attempt to break down the various branches and where you can seek information about each.
- 0.2-dev This is the most recent branch and has the latest version of Lucene and other libraries. It also contains a shell and a few other nice features, I would not consider this branch to be feature complete or stable at this point. However if you want to kick the tires and check the direction we are going, here a link to a wiki page to get you started. http://wiki.apache.org/blur/QuickStart - 0.1.5 This branch is currently broken, we are attempting to modernize branch 0.1.4-final (update libraries, back port metrics code, shell, etc). The thrift API's are going to be backwards compatitable with 0.1.4-final once it's stable. Also this is going to be the version that will be the first Apache release of Blur. We are hoping to have this branch in a functioning state in the next few weeks. - 0.1.4-final (also master) This is the most stable version of Blur, however it is missing a automatic build project (to create the tarball), a shell and update to Lucene version. You can find some documentation on how to get started in the README.md file in the root of the project as well as taking a look at the blur-testsuite which will give you some example code. Hope this helps, let us know if we can help you in any way. Thanks!
